# Collect tax in Asia Pacific

Learn how to collect tax in a country in Asia Pacific.

In the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, Stripe supports tax calculation for businesses making sales into a range of countries. The requirements for tax registration, as well as which types of transactions are included, vary from country to country.

For each country listed, you can find information about:

- The types of tax Stripe can help you collect.

- The registration threshold that determines when you’re required to register for tax collection.

- What kinds of products or sales are subject to tax calculation.

- The types of transactions covered.

- Resources about how to register with local tax authorities.

Stripe can collect tax if your business is based in Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore and United Arab Emirates. To collect tax on Stripe in other listed APAC countries, your business needs to be a remote seller with no physical presence (such as a shop or warehouse).

## Threshold and registration for New Zealand 

Remote sellers supplying goods or services in New Zealand must register if their taxable turnover from these transactions exceeded 60,000 NZD within the past 12-month period or will exceed this amount in the next 12 months. These rules apply to businesses supplying remote services such as digital content or low-value goods from outside New Zealand to customers who are resident in New Zealand and aren’t registered for GST. Sales to New Zealand GST-registered businesses that are subject to reverse charge don’t count towards the threshold.

## Supported calculations for New Zealand 

When both your business and your customer are in New Zealand, Stripe calculates GST unless the sale is exempt or zero-rated. If you’re a remote seller and sell services to customers in New Zealand, GST is typically collected on sales to individuals. No tax is charged on sales to business customers who provide their [GST number](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/checkout/tax-ids.md).

If you provide services related to admission to events and other venues, Stripe Tax considers them taxable in the country where the venue or event is located.

### Cross-border sales of goods to New Zealand 

When goods are shipped into New Zealand from abroad, Stripe treats the sale as an export and doesn’t calculate tax, unless you choose to calculate tax on cross-border sales of goods into New Zealand through the [tax registration settings](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/registering.md#track-your-registrations-in-the-tax-dashboard). Whether you need to charge GST depends on the location of the goods at the time of sale. You don’t need to charge GST if the goods are outside New Zealand at the time of supply. However, if the goods are inside New Zealand during the supply, you must charge GST if you’re GST-registered or required to be GST-registered. Cross-border goods sales into New Zealand might also be subject to import taxes and customs duties, which Stripe doesn’t calculate.

Stripe doesn’t calculate GST on sales of imported low-value goods, valued at 1000 NZD or less, to individuals in New Zealand unless you select the option to calculate tax on cross-border goods sales into New Zealand.
